Services
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy accesses subconscious patterns to address deep-seated behavioural and emotional challenges. This evidence-based approach helps clients overcome phobias, addictions, and anxiety through guided relaxation and focused attention. Andrea Lindsay's expertise in indirect hypnosis techniques enables lasting positive change while maintaining client comfort and control throughout the process.
Counselling
Professional counselling provides safe space for exploring emotional difficulties and life challenges. Sessions address relationship issues, bereavement, stress management, and self-esteem concerns through structured therapeutic conversations. Andrea's 20+ years of experience ensures tailored support for adults, children, and families seeking practical solutions to personal difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT focuses on transforming negative thought patterns and behaviours through structured, goal-oriented sessions. This evidence-based approach helps clients develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. Andrea's CBT certification ensures clients receive technically precise interventions adapted to individual needs and circumstances.
Thought Field Therapy
Thought Field Therapy (TFT) rapidly reduces emotional distress through targeted tapping sequences. This innovative technique addresses trauma, phobias, and anxiety by balancing energy meridians while processing distressing memories. Andrea's specialist training enables effective application of TFT for both individual and complex psychological challenges.
Child Therapy
Specialised therapeutic support helps children overcome anxiety, behavioural issues, and emotional difficulties. Andrea's approach combines play-based techniques with evidence-based interventions to address developmental challenges. Close collaboration with parents and schools ensures comprehensive support for children aged 5-18 experiencing emotional or behavioural difficulties.
